I have no source for scientists claiming that 1.5°C is unrealistic, that is what I have seen on Twitter at the time. Might be searchable if you can limit Twitter searches to a specific time period.

It takes time until you see such a change in the public mood in actual CO2 emissions and even longer in the CO2 concentrations. The climate and market economies are slow systems.

@tfardet "I think what is meant is that if we say 1.5 is still on, then what we're doing now is OK, so BAU"

I have not seen any scientist, activist or credible politician claiming you can have 1.5°C without massive additional action.

Exactly, and for public transportation, moving away from combustion and individual transportation requires major decisions and actions over years. Such actions are not being undertaken in most Western countries.

The absence of binding legislations in the major sectors (agriculture, transportation, buildings, energy) is why I fail to understand your optimism.

@VictorVenema breaking 1.5°C within 5 years became 50% probability with ideal actions this year: draketo.de/english/politics/ro ← with sources. @tfardet
